The Winefest

Last weekend, we ventured into Connecticut to meet up with our friends, Jeff & Anna, to go to the annual Sun Winefest at Mohegan Sun. We started out by tasting the many wines - I stuck to a few Rieslings, Jeff and Aaron tried whatever they could get to a table for ... Anna, well, she can't drink for another 6 months or so! :) We also tried out some of the food samples they had. Then we headed to the Ales & Spirits upstairs where we got to sample beers and liquors in tiny little Nyquil-sized plastic cups. The boys weren't impressed with the beer choices - most of them were what you can buy in the stores - not many new samples. But the vendors got creative with some of the liquors - they mixed them to make little mini-cocktails (in the cups!) My favorite was the pomegranate-martinis!! The boys really liked the VT maple vodka. And of course, Aaron & Jeff had to hit up a craps table ... it wouldn't be a trip to the casino if you didn't lose some money, right? It was a good time - and great to spend time with the Hladkys, as always!!
